I tried the Brisket Plate Special, $14 which comes with a nice portion of brisket and 2 fixins’. The brisket was lean and covered with barbecue sauce. Actually one of the best brisket I’ve had. The collard greens; not spicy like other spots, but was delicious. The creamy corn was almost like a low carb mac and cheese, with corn bits replacing the macaroni. A little too heavy for me, but if you like cheesy foods, go for it. The baked beans are also good, and very sweet. As soon as I took a bite into it, I immediately tasted the brown sugar.

Brisket Plate Special

Overall, the food was pretty good. When you come here, make sure you’ve got an appetite – the portions are big.
